    Everywhere I have looked online is out of the Microscale Frisco E Unit decals in N-scale (60-455). Microscale has not replied as to whether or not they will be printing anymore and no one else produces them.
    If anyone has any info on an existing set or some of y’all have enough leftovers from past projects to where I could piece mill it would be appreciated. At the very least, if anyone has good detailed artwork I could send for custom.

    If there was enough interest, I’m sure with the artwork K4 would be willing to offer them. If I knew how to do the work, I’d be tempted to draft the artwork - if anyone has experience with that, I’d like to learn b/c I have a couple of non-Frisco projects that need custom decals.

    I am in the process of kit bashing one of the EA7’s in the horse scheme - early ‘60s is the goal. Dan Patch is my main focus since it never got the simplified scheme nor spark arrestors, I could use it for a consist of the late ‘50s clear to the mid ‘60s (of course fictionalizing that shop kept the paint clean and spotless all that time).

    Regards,

    I have the HO version of that set (87-455). If you think you can copy it and scale it down, you're welcome to it.

    If you could scan it, that would certainly be a place to start!

    I have no plans to decal any more Frisco E-units. Send me your address via messenger and I'll send the sheet to you.

    Thank you all! I got a response on the Facebook Frisco Modelers group and I will try to work on the decals once I receive them and will get with a maker about putting them out there as regular offering - providing there are no copyright issues, but I’d also like to take a poll of who would be interested.

    Also to see what variants would be desired.
